Cutting and the New Security Strategy
In a political scenario marked by the collaboration between macronists and traditional right members, Bruno Retailleau, the Minister of the Interior of France, has emerged as a firm defender of national security. In recent months, it has played a central role in the formulation of policies that seek to guarantee public order and social cohesion.
A revealing report
Retailleau recently published a report through the Ministry portal, entitled ‘Muslim Brotherhood and political Islam in France’. This document is a simplified version of a classified report presented at a meeting of the Defense Council, and seeks to address the threats that political Islam is representing for French society.
The purpose of transparency
The minister has expressed his intention to raise awareness of the population about the risks associated with political Islam, a topic that has been at the center of the debate in numerous countries. Retailleau emphasizes the importance of making this information accessible to foster a more informed public debate.
The story of the Muslim Brotherhood
With a story that extends until the 1920’s in Cairo, the Muslim brothers have been a controversial element in the global political landscape. Several states, such as Egypt, Russia and Austria, have implemented legal prohibitions against this organization, considering it a threat to their national values.
Threats to national cohesion
Retailleau’s report emphasizes that Muslim brothers not only are a challenge for republican principles, they can also erode social cohesion in France. Its objectives of re-Islamization and separation of the Muslim community could generate significant tensions within French society.
The impact of social media
The Muslim brothers have adapted their tactics, using social networks as a platform to spread their ideology. This strategy seeks to influence new generations, promoting the idea that state institutions are hostile to Islam.
A wider crisis
Finally, it is important to acknowledge that the Muslim brothers represent only one aspect of a greater problem: increasing social segregation and the rise of Islamist counterculture in Europe. This dynamic raises fundamental issues on western integration and values in an increasingly diverse world.
